Shaun Martin RIP

I realize he has been off the radar for a while, but still, what a loss, both musically and as a person. I like watching him in Snarky Puppy and Spectrasonics videos. And this one is amazing. (oddly my favorite part is his demo of the Roland MKS-20. Something about that sound, neither acoustic nor recognizable electric piano. The MK-80 includes some of that sound, but I much prefer the Keyscape version. Boggles the mind!)

It’s hard to lose talented musicians at any point, but especially when they’re younger. There’s going to be a benefit concert, featuring Erykah Badu, Norah Jones, Cory Henry, and other artists, in September. It was originally planned for Shaun, but now it’s for his family.

RIP, Shaun Martin.

Best,

Geoff
